- [deleted]
- Did half of Florida even live in the state when Jeb was last in office? -- nm - ty97 Dec 17, 08:50 15
  - Might not be him, but there were probably a few thousand people pissed at Clinton for returning Elian in 2000 - Will Hunting Dec 17, 08:52 13
    - We think being able to easily (in theory) travel to Cuba and see family makes Cuban-Floridans angry? -- nm - ty97 Dec 17, 08:54 12
      - Like spamlet said, if it helps Castro in any form, there's a lot of people who don't want it. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 17, 09:12
      - It also puts money in the Castros' pockets, which is the much bigger issue for them (in general) -- nm - spamlet Dec 17, 08:59 9
        
        Keeping families apart just to spite Fidel Castro. Um... huh? -- nm - con_carne Dec 17, 09:01 2
        
        If it wasn't for the political issue of pissing off the Cubans in FL, the embargo would have gone away 20 years ago. -- nm - spamlet Dec 17, 09:04 1
        
        I've never followed the issue closely enough... I'm afraid I don't know what sort of mind set would be required to make this post make sense - con_carne Dec 17, 09:18

        This -- nm - znufrii, bachelor of science, cum laude Dec 17, 09:15
        
        It will also potentially put money in many of their family's pockets too (they didn't leave Cuba because it was a great place to prosper......) - ty97 Dec 17, 09:01 1
        
        Again, historically that has been a second concern to enriching the Castros. It's not necessarily rational. -- nm - spamlet Dec 17, 09:07
        
        yes they should have given the sanctions the time to work first -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Dec 17, 09:01

The Sony hack/The Interview news doesn't look good, but my wishful thinking side thinks this will turn the movie into a blockbuster - con_carne Dec 17, 08:45 10
- I don't think they're promoting NKs problem with it enough. Don't think people will stay away out of fear. -- nm - Loyola Dec 17, 08:48
- But to your point: we are irrationally fearful of some things (terrorist attacks) and not of other things (driving) far more likely to kill us. -- nm - ty97 Dec 17, 08:47 1
  - Yep, people feel they have control when they are in a car, so even if it doesn't make sense statistically, it makes intuitive sense. - Roger More Dec 17, 08:53
- See B2-20! - Ultron Dec 17, 08:47 1
  - I know, but news like this always makes me look away and come back after the dust up -- nm - con_carne Dec 17, 08:56
- I've seen a few folks say they had no desire to see the movie but are pissed off and would go now in support -- nm - ty97 Dec 17, 08:46 1
  - I think they say that, but they don't really mean it. -- nm - Roger More Dec 17, 08:47
